NRC is protecting Pilgrim, not the public

It should be obvious to every person paying the slightest attention to the danger we face from the Pilgrim Nuclear Power Station that the Nuclear Regulatory Commission grants Entergy just about every exemption from required safety measures that Pilgrim’s owners request (“Cybersecurity violations found at Pilgrim plant,” Sept. 8, Page 1).

Anyone who believes the NRC is working for our safety is deluded. It is the nuclear power industry it is protecting. And any elected official who hasn’t yet demanded the immediate shutdown of Pilgrim should be considered complicit in the ongoing threat to our lives and our homes posed by this Category 5 nuclear plant.
